All DLC Maps for Evolve Will Be Available Free of Charge

In a recent interview with Turtle Rock Studios' Creative Director Phil Robb, IGN learned that all DLC maps for Evolve will be available to players free of charge.

According to Robb, giving players free maps means players won't be booted because they didn't pay for the DLC.

Robb addresses the issue around the 4:10 mark in the video below: "First thing we [Evolve's creative leads] said was we can't break the community up, so all of our maps will be free. We never want anyone to get booted off of a server because they haven't bought something."

Robb confirmed that new monsters, hunters, and maps are planned for Evolve's post-release DLC support. Additionally, players who do not purchase monster or hunter DLC will still be able to fight against the new monsters alongside the new hunters.

"We'll have characters and monsters, and even if you don't buy them, if your buddy wants to buy the DLC, that's cool, and your game will be enhanced through his purchase," Robb said. "So, you won't be able to play as those characters, but you will certainly be able to play with those characters."

Robb finally added that those who pre-ordered the game would receive the first monster DLC for free.

Evolve is a multiplayer shooter in which four players with distinct abilities fight against a fifth player who inhabits the body of an evolving monster. To learn more exclusive information about Evolve, make sure to check out IGN First.
